Buttress O’Kneel (Melbourne)
http://www.myspace.com/buttressokneel

Buttress O’Kneel is a sound artist from Melbourne, who has to date released 12 plunderphonic audio-documentaries (on topics such as globalisation, Harry Potter, war, oil, racism, humyn rights, 9/11, exorcisms, “Australian values”, and the Bilderberg Group), 13 albums of culture-jammed post-pop noncore metabreaks, and several other Special Projects, including live manipulations of mainstream CDs through a series of destructive guitar pedals, collaborations with various other folks (including a fully sick deconstruction of Led Zeppelin IV with Blue Mountains misanthrope, Lucas Darklord), and commissioned art-pieces for the ABC.

She has dedicated her life to fighting the reptilian mind-control agenda, whether or not it actually exists.

This Eleven Eleven Special is a surreal journey through time and space, where the listener can meet some of her friends, influences, idols, total strangers whose work she thinks totally rocks, and of course her good self. CONTAINS NO BREAKCORE.

Buttress O’Kneel will be performing in Sydney for the first time for Liquid Architecture 10 more details…

Michael Beckett is kptmichigan, a musician and producer who loves guitars, totally dislikes programming and finds the term experimental somewhat dodgy. As kptmichigan, he has released 4 albums, the newest being the experimental 10 Self-Modulating Loops Made Whilst Fasting, released on the label MirrorWorldMusic that he and friend Schneider TM run.

About the podcast: This podcast features a bunch of stuff from friends to people that time has forgotten…The weird and the wonderful. I allowed myself to add random stuff to and between some of the tracks, even creating new music especially for this podcast. Listen loud / Listen deep.

Randolf Reimann (Northern NSW)
myspace.com/tralalablip

Randolf Reimann is a sound artist, musician from Bangalow, Northern NSW. Randolf started his musical journey as vocalist for the  Sydney 80’s hardcore punk band Massappeal. See also http://last.fm/music/Massappeal. Recent group projects include electro-acoustic duo Kolliope, with singer /song writer Michelle Taylor, and experimental projects like Lawn Cigar with visual artist/musician Darren Porter. Solo, Randolf performs  live electronics as Dolfazoid.

Randolf is also the artistic director and facilitator of Tra La La Blip, an artist collective based on the far north coast of New South Wales. Their first release, Soundbeam Sessions Volume 1, is a compilation CD. All the songs were created live during jam sessions at Multi Task Human Resource Foundation in Lismore NSW. The music is created using multiple midi controllers and instruments like the tenori-on, soundbeam, kaossilator, microkorg, a macbook running ableton live software and a microphone. The project provides people with disabilities access to new musical technologies, opportunities to collaborate with other musicians & artists and opportunities to record & produce original compositions. Randolf is currently in New York doing Tra La La Blip activities with disability services and the elderly. www.myspace.com/tralalablip

About the set: When I left Australia in October I purposely did not take any music with me, no mp3 player, no CD’s, no iTunes library. So this set is made up of music that has come to me on this extended stay in the USA, save for 1 kolliope tune and the TLLB songs. Most of the music I have received through connections made through TLLB on this trip . There are generations overlayed too, a grandmother talking over her grandson’s metal band. A mother singing with school children and her son (now in the metal band), and a father doing music with his son. This was not an intentional choice, nor is it entirely experimental, it’s just what has been presented to me since October 2008.

Happy New Year folks and welcome to the first show for 2009!!

Several new releases are featured this month including the opening track Untitled #175 by Francisco López & Lawrence English, from the album HB on French label Baskaru. Also new from Baskaru is Live Journeys, a selection of live performances by mixed-media band Symbiosis Orchestra.

The podcast title, Mistress of Ceremonies, is a track from the new Joe Frawley release Ritual Research.  An extremely enjoyable listening experience, the album is available for free download through the Clinical Archives net label.

From our friends at The Agriculture we have two exciting new releases to look forward to in February. Rich Panciera under his Lloop moniker explores elements of dubstep, hip hop and drum & bass with the album 60 Hertz. Kacy Wiggins aka quiet personal electronics (aka qpe), releases the one true constant, a new album with a downtempo ambient hip hop groove. Also from qpe we hear a track from the album Boolean Logic, which I refer to as my all-time-favourite pre-cyclone music.

From Australia, we hear a track from Rhythmic Movement Disorder (Room40), the long awaited debut solo release from Robbie Avenaim, a luminary figure in the Australian experimental and improvised music scene.

We also hear a golden oldie, That That Revolves, a Severed Heads track that features on the companion CD to a new book release entitled Experimental Music: Audio Explorations In Australia. Book chapters have been written by ‘artists, producers and participants in alternative music-making’ in Australia including contributions from Julian Knowles, Shannon O’Neill, Ian Andrews and Jim Denley, to mention a few, edited by Gail Priest. A definite must have for those interested in the history of experimental and electronic music in Australia. I was thrilled that Punos rated a mention (thanks Seb Chan). Enjoy!

Currently exploring the city of Montréal and enduring one of the coldest winters in the world, yet discovering a city abundant in culture and creativity. The D.I.Y approach in Montréal allows for creative freedom and expression which nurtures a healthy arts community. Healthy in the sense that artists self release CD’s that come to be works of art, each CD feels personalized and one of a kind.

This month’s “xmas special” is a collection of self released and independent experimental artists from Montréal, Canada. Sit back and enjoy bruits du nord!

Mark Brown (Sydney)
http://untitledbrown.zina.org

Mark Brown is a Sydney based sound, installation and photo media artist exploring the phenomenology of space, architecture and acoustic atmospherics. Brown’s practice has evolved into a poetic response to site, critiquing the history and function of architecture by documenting and making manifest unseen and unheard phenomena in space. 
This playlist maps a trajectory through strategies in the creation of sound composition and music derived from field recordings, sampling, artist made instruments and meta-generative techniques.

Minit’s samples of ‘absence’ recorded in the place where the Berlin wall used to be are layered into a subtle building wall of sound in Berlin Untitled. Wolfgang Voigt’s Pop 4 pulses through the black forest of reconstructed pop elasticity. Inside the white cube, a museum goods lift opening its doors to hear the ruminations of a disembodied forensic entity in Fontana Musee Incident. Einsturtzende Neubauten’s sound sculpture / instruments flail on the stage of Werner Schwab’s Faust. During the Acoustic Space Lab project in Irbene Latvia Zina Kaye & Mr Snow inhabit a decommissioned soviet satellite communications dish and distilled the unseen sonic particles it collects. Ian Andrew’s Dude Descending a Staircase traverses the static of radio waves and glitch frequencies in a Duchampian audio readymade. Echolocation is a recent collaboration with myself and Vincent and Vaughan O’Connor, the intention was to create a live sonic meteorology of field recordings and circuit bending.

Sound of Failure 2008
The Sound of Failure is sound art festival based in Sydney, begun in 2007, that explores notions of organised and indeterminate music/sound/noise as conceived and experienced in this, our post-digital era. It is both an inclusive and critical exploration of a broad spectrum of audio experience that includes everything from experimental cabaret, to granular synthesis-derived microsound. This year, the Sound of Failure is a multi-sited event centred around the main performance night at the Factory Theatre in Enmore, which will include some big names and some exciting emerging performers.

IMPROVISED RADIO PIECE
Cédric Peyronnet (Bellac/France)
www.ingeos.org

Title: kdi dctb 209 [a]

“A totally improvised radio piece dealing with the relationships I can draw between some of the works I’ve done these last 10 years. I revisit the archives 1998-2008. My work is always “site” based: a place is explored, recorded, played, then becomes a matter for the studio work; a piece is always about a place, and is always composed only with sound material gathered in - a really very important point to me. It is never a ‘phonography’ of the place but an interpretation of the place. ” ~ Cédric Peyronnet

Cédric Peyronnet (aka toy.bizarre / ingeos) is a sound artist working since 1990 with phonography and soundscapes, using the principles of concrete, acousmatic, electroacoustic music. Peyronnet’s  practice of “sound mapping”, the exploration of places by sound recording, listening and sound sculpting, take form in compositions and sound pieces, concerts, sound screenings and sound installations.

Cédric Peyronnet is performing at Liquid Architecture 9, Australia’ s premier sound-arts festival throughout July 2008.

Liquid Architecture , Australia’s premier sound-arts festival, celebrates its ninth consecutive year with concerts, surround sound presentations, audio-visual and recorded work, exhibitions and installations. Featuring our most imaginative musicians, composers, sound designers and media artists in a sense-specific feast for the ears.

International highlights include Robert Normandeau (Canada) , world renowned electro acoustic composer, in Australia also for the Australian Computer Music Association conference; Cedric Peyronnet / toy.bizarre (France) whose works focus on phonography and field recordings, and who will spend time mapping on location prior to performing; Marcus Schmickler (Germany) who will present experimental and electronic compositions from his Altars of Science release 2007; and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Pekler (Germany) , well known for his atmospheric soundscapes.

Kazumichi Grime (Sydney)
www.kazumichi.com
Kazumichi Grime is a Sydney based sound and visual artist. Recently he has been incorporating video art into his live sets which have been performed at events such as The Big Day Out, eScapes, Disorientation, The MCA and Liquid Architecture. The focus of the video imagery is often of intense studies of simple concepts that work in collaboration with the sound to create a resolve. Dense textural drones are drawn from field recordings, analogue synthesis and acoustic recordings.

He has released numerous recordings since 1994 on cd, vinyl and online and has performed extensively. As well as his own solo practice, Grime has collaborated on a number of projects with artists such as Kim Cascone, Gary Bradbury, Anthony Guerra, Andy Polaine and has also developed a number of pieces as a sound artist for video artist Shaun Gladwell, including the 2007 Venice Biennial piece, ‘Storm Sequence’

About this playlist. The music I have chosen is music and sounds that I find engaging and beautiful. It also happens to be all of Australian artists whom I have followed for some time over the years and have found their music an inspiration (though I did sneak a new track of mine in as well as a remix I did). Having grown up on a diet of Severed Heads in the 80s, I naturally find Bradbury’s work wonderful, unexpected and humorous. I have always enjoyed releases by Ambarchi, Minut and lesser known artists like Daniel Whiting whose track here is a cdr he handed to me one night and is heard here in its entirety, quite an epic. Enjoy.

Jeph Jerman (USA)
www.jerman.littleenjoyer.com

Jeph Jerman is a musician, improviser and sound-maker from the US. Jerman first began recording and performing in 1986, under the name Hands To . Most of his early sound work was sampler and tape loop based. Over the course of ten years Jerman’s music evolved into environmental recordings, with very little to no manipulation or electronic processing. In 1996, Jerman embarked upon a weekly series of concerts in Seattle at Anomalous Records , which brought him into contact with the city’s improvised music community. During this time he began performing solo, using only natural found objects (stones, shells, bones, driftwood, pine cones, etc) as sound-makers, a practice which continues today. In 1999, the Animist Orchestra was founded, original members are Jeph Jerman, Eleanor Gallagher, Dave Knott, Mike Shannon, Jeffery Taylor and Robert Millis.

Most of Jerman’s previous work could be interpreted as being ‘idea-based’. He finds that most of his work nowadays is sound-based, and believes it is due to his growing interest in listening, in what happens when one listens, and his concomitant disinterest in contextualizing sound

Love, Harmony, Light. I needed a release this week and these first 3 tracks helped me do just that - 99 Red Love Balloons by Nena, then The Ramones with I Wanna Be Sedated, followed by some noise from Cornelius with I Hate Hate. September has been a wonderful month of festivals and good times in Australia. A few events I managed to get along to include Sounds Unusual Festival (Alice Springs), This Is Not Art Festival (Newcastle) and Sau_Rang in residence at the Australian Institute of Music (Sydney). This fortnights play list features some of the artists that performed at these great festivals.

8 Sept Surrealestate (as part of the Sounds Unusual Festival), Alice Springs. New and experimental music in the desert. Undoolya Creek was the venue for this fantastic event with performances by Robin Fox, Rob Curgenven, Sumugan Sivanesan, Anthony Magen and J9 Stanton. When I heard of this event taking place I booked myself a ticket to Alice Springs, I just had to be a part of the experience. It was certainly worth the trip.

27 Sept - 1 Oct 2007 This Is Not Art Festival, Newcastle. I now feel quite inspired from a most stimulating weekend at TINA. I met a lot of amazing people at the festival that made the whole experience a lot of fun and extremely memorable. Dr Fox - you’re wicked and thanks for ‘getting it’. Good vibes!! As part of Electrofringe I heard William Lane & Sebastien Roux perform in quadraphonic sound…superb! The viola made my heart sing, just what I needed for a Sunday morning. Roux’s soundscapes reminded me of some Luc Ferrari pieces, beautiful.

5 Oct - Sau_Rang in residence at the Australian Institute of Music, Sydney. I had to get along to another performance by William Lane & Sebastien Roux. Again, a lovely show, although I did miss the surround sound experience. Another good vibes human is Leafcutter John. I just can’t wait for the performance of Bohemian Rhapsody by Leafcutter John with Sebastien Roux on vocals…wt!?

21 / 22 Oct Laurie Anderson Homelands at Sydney Opera House. I’ll be there!! Thank you to all the people who have sent music and CDs over the last month, you know who you are!!

This fortnights show Bubble and Squeak has been prepared by special guest programmer Greg Shapley. Greg runs an experimental new media art gallery in Dulwich Hill NSW. Check out Don’t Look Gallery.

The shows title refers to the method of selection and organisation rather than the overall sound. I have chosen some of the more interesting stuff I had lying around, added a bit of pepper and a handful of cheese (thank you Simon and Garfunkel) and then fried till golden brown. The first few tracks are just to shake out the cobwebs. The chaotic rantings of Captain Beefheart and Darth Vegas’ schizoid genre jumping accomplish this. I’ve thrown in my working mix of 3 Eyes and Eagles (a band that I’m sure you’ll be hearing more from in the future) as well as an experimental work from an installation that I have yet to conceive of.

Now dim the lights coz we’re getting serious. Phil Niblock’s ‘Held Tones’ a long, uber-minimalist work introduces, and provides backing for, my gentle reinterpretation of the classic Beat poem ‘Howl’ by Allen Ginsberg. Mirroring this deep epic, is Steve Reich’s Violin Phase. This to me is the essential phase minimalist piece (along with Reich’s Come Out To Show Them’ and some of La Monte Young’s compositions). A lot of his later works are just too ‘neo-classical’ for my liking (the ‘genius artist’ should remain hidden me thinks).

After The Residents is a snippet that I found on my hard drive while putting this mix together. I think it may have been created by opening the text for James Joyce’s Ulysses into a sound program. The piece ‘Untitled’ is also derived from this snippet. Webern should be included in every mix everywhere seeing he’s inspired everyone from Stockhausen to Bjork. Varese wrote Ionisation in 1931 and was pretty much crucified for it and amazingly enough it still sounds pretty out-there today. It is normally listed as a work for 13 percussionists, but I’m adding another performer - the record player. ‘Made in Hong Kong’ by the guitarist, Fennesz, has become a glitchy minimalist classic (in the true spirit of glitch I have remixed this track so it’s a little less ’90s).

‘Mechanical Butterfly’ is a work I originally wrote for 6 flautists. The name refers to its subtle evolution from consonance to dissonance. Finally Simon and Garfunkel serenade us with their version of xmas schmultz. There is, however, a chilling twist. Hope you enjoy!!

This title of the show was inspired by Raymond Scott and a track from his album Manhattan Research Inc. The track Bufferin: ‘Memories’, narrated by Jim Hensen the muppet show man, features on the Rough Trade Shops - Electronic 01 CD. I’ve selected quite a few artists from this compilation for the playlist but have tried to list the original album that the track is from where possible, for the trainspotters.

We start the show with a great track by NYC band Big A Little a. Their music has been described as a “sonic battery of driving beats and ethereal electronics” by New York Magazine and from listening to their track Thirteen, I’m liking what I hear already. The drums, percussion and vocals in the track are just fantastic and the electronic sounds are really nicely integrated…cool recommendation, thanks Commie Love Child on Last.FM , come back to us!?! From Denmark, Badun have just released their debut self-titled album on Rump Recordings. If you like smooth electronic jazz, you’ll enjoy this. Their sounds remind me of Flanger and in fact if you read their press release Burnt Friedman has been quoted saying “Probably the most elaborate programming of cyper-jazz to date”…nice. Also, check out their cute website. Another new release is Apparat’s album Walls, on fantastically named German label Shitkatapult. What can I say? Beautiful album.

From Brisbane, Australia we have sound artist Tom Hall with the track Metallon from his album Fluere. The album is based on 6 months of sonic documentation by Tom of the Story Bridge in Brisbane. Using contact mics and attaching objects to the Bridge, Tom gathered a huge number of recordings and has produced some magnificent ambient sound pieces for this album. Read more about Tom Hall and check out the link to a great review by Lawrence English for Wire Magazine. Layered over Tom’s track we have a excerpt from a live recording of DJ Olive doing his “Terror” turntables at Liquid Architecture in Brisbane, 2005…thanks for the recording Lawrence. We close the show with the beautiful sounds of Akira Kosemura and his track Yellow Lawn. This track is from the Drifting Skywards 2 compilation available as a free download from netlabel Cold Room. This show was compiled by Yun Mei.

Australia’s premier sound arts festival is coming up again in June-July…yes folks Liquid Architecture 8. In Sydney, Liquid Architecture is presented by Alias Frequencies and Performance Space, and will be held at Carriageworks, a fabulous new contemporary arts venue in Sydney that most of us remember fondly as the old Eveleigh Railyards.

Ever wonder why you meet certain people at particular times in your life? I do. This fortnights show Reason, Season, Lifetime is about the ebb and flow of relationships beginning with an exhilarating gypsy number by Tony Gatlif & Delphine Mantoulet, from the original soundtrack to the movie Exils. Autechre bring back some good memories from 1992 with their track Crystel. This is a feel good track…from back in the old warehouse party days. We hear an ear throbbing piece by Pickle from the newly released Dub Rascals Vol 2 album. Much kudos to Dub Rascals Vol 2, a cool new album of various Australian dub producers, including live dub outfit Dub Rascal Soundsystem, on Cairns-based label Little Rascal Records. Kudos, also, with the dub-step track Weirdos Welcome and some melodic madness from Renaldo And The Loaf and the Pascals. Also featured are a three pretty micro-sound tracks by Moskitoo from her new release Drape on label 12K. One of my “I absolutely love it” tracks at the moment is Lonely In Shark Cage by Tim Koch on 4-4-2 Music. I love the tracks slightly erratic behaviour and sudden changes in rhythm. I listened to this as I walked through The Rocks (Sydney) to work in the rain yesterday. This beautiful track is full of delicate sounds and dreamy melodies that fit perfectly with a rainy day. And finally, another absolutely beautiful track To Build A Home feat Patrick Watson by The Cinematic Orchestra from their upcoming release Ma Fleur on Ninja Tune, due out in May. Compiled by Yun Mei.
